Question

read the passage.
ms. fletcher was an english teacher with a reputation for peculiar instruction methods. as a result, no one considered it strange to see her students clad in costumes on the soccer field or filming a movie in the gym. she was even once spotted leading her class blindfolded through the corridors. to an outsider, it might have all seemed very mysterious. however, all kids adored her class. naturally, the students who favored more traditional classes and were unused to change found it difficult at first to orient themselves to this style of teaching. in the end though, they always adapted, and inevitably they would be overheard raving about certain books from the class. the most important thing ms. fletcher encouraged in her students was simply the appreciation for a great story.
when maya read this paragraph in a book, she came across the word orient and thought it meant \adjust.\
is mayas understanding about the meaning of \orient\ correct?

1. no, because the reaction of the students indicates that \to orient\ means more accurately \to become enthusiastic about.\
2. no, because the paragraph explains that these particular students did not feel ms. fletchers instruction methods were at all odd.
3. yes, because the passage states that the students who were unused to change eventually got used to the class and came to enjoy it.
4. yes, because the passage tells how ms. fletcher had to work hard to get these particular students to learn to appreciate great stories.

Explanation:

The passage states that students unused to change found it hard to "orient themselves" to the teaching style but eventually adapted. "Adjust" aligns with adapting to the new style. Option 3 correctly links this adaptation to Maya’s understanding of "orient" as "adjust".

Answer:

1. Yes, because the passage states that the students who were unused to change eventually got used to the class and came to enjoy it.
